Gary Barden - Graham Bonnet - Robin McAuley

Have just confirmed three shows in Japan.
August 23th - Zepp Namba - Osaka
August 24th - International Forum Hall A - Tokyo
August 26th - Zepp Sapporo - Sapporo

Michael Schenker's Temple Of Rock will release "On A Mission: Live In Madrid" -- a new live recording and filmed concert released by inakustik on CD, DVD, Blu-ray and Digital. Europe - Out Now! Japan - Out Now! USA - May 6th UK- May 13th.

Filmed and recorded at Madrid's Joy Eslava Theatre on November 19th as part of Michael Schenker's Temple Of Rock's 2015 European tour, the concert features their recent rock radio hits Vigilante Man, Communion and Live and Let Live, as well as the MSG/UFO/Scorpions classics Doctor Doctor, Lights Out, Too Hot To Handle, Rock You Like A Hurricane and Rock Bottom.

We are excited to announce that we have put a very special show together, Michael Schenker Fest, for Sweden Rock festival 8th-11th June 2016. It will feature 3 original MSG singers -Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet & Robin McAuley. We have Ted McKenna on drums, Chris Glen on bass and Steve Mann on guitar / keys. Combined, these men are responsible for such albums as "Michael Schenker Group" (1980), "Assault Attack" (1982) and "Save Yourself" (1989) - expect a multitude of classic tracks.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that I will not be able
to participate on the upcoming Axes & Anchors cruise. I was genuinely
excited to perform on this unique and amazing musical voyage alongside
some incredible talent. But with the recent tragic passing of my friend
David VanLanding, who was going to be performing with me, I cannot
bring myself to perform that material on board the ship. It would be
doing a disservice to the cruise, its patrons, and the memory of David
to attempt this show without him. I know there will be some
disappointed fans, but the cruise has assembled some of the best talent
out there and I know it will thrive in light of my having to cancel.
I can only hope that after time passes we can come to grips with the
loss of David and adequately honor his memory. I look forward to being
a part of future Axes & Anchors cruises and appreciate the support of
everyone during this trying time. --Michael Schenker

Today we were told the very sad news that David Van Landing passed away in a traffic accident early yesterday morning.

We are all lost for words at such a sudden tragic event taking David away from us.

We last performed together in the USA, 2012, but had planned a special show together on the Axes and Anchors cruise; Feb, 2016.

He will be deeply missed. A great voice and a charming man. My condolences go out to his family and many friends.—Michael Schenker

"It is with great regret that we have had to cancel the show at Rockpile West on Wednesday night."

"Our singer Doogie White has been suffering with a chest infection for the last 5 shows and despite his finest efforts it has been decided to cancel this show to give him 2 days off from performing and offering a better chance for him to recover so the band can continue to give their very best at the shows for the remainder of the 'Spirit on a Mission' USA tour."

"Doogie commented, I am very disappointed for the people who were looking forward to seeing TEMPLE of ROCK in Toronto, I have happy memories of playing there last year. The last 3 shows have been a real struggle for me and rather than jeopardize the remainder of the tour we had to make this difficult decision."

IMPORTANT NEWS! Michael Schenker's Temple Of Rock

2014.09.01

IMPORTANT NEWS: Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock

Sometime between 6pm Friday 29th Aug and 11 am Sunday 31st August 2014 at "Kidroom Studios" in Greven, Germany, where MICHAEL SCHENKER is recording the new TEMPLE OF ROCK album "Spirit on a Mission", thieves broke in and stole a number of Michael Voss's and a number of Michael Schenker's Dean Flying V guitars.

At the moment the full extent of what has been stolen is being assessed and the crime scene fingerprinted. However Schenker's brand new Chrome V is one of the guitars that has been taken.

A source close to the band said, "The Dean Chrome V is a one off, made for Michael to his own specifications. There is not another like it, so it will be hard to sell."

German police are examining evidence and the studio for fingerprints / DNA evidence to help catch the criminals.

There will be more details once the extent of the damage and a thorough inventory has been taken of the crime scene.

David Landing to Front MSG Fall Tour

2012.09.21

Vocalist David Van Landing will front Michael Schenker's band on
the upcoming North American tour, which is scheduled to kick off on October 3 in
Modesto, California. David will be
stepping in for Robin McAuley, who was
originally slated to take part in the trek after recently reuniting with Schenker for their first full tour
together in almost 20 years.

Van Landing, who has previously done three
tours with MSG and had a short stint
with CRIMSON GLORY, said: "I am just
looking forward to getting out on the road again with the boys and seeing all my
old friends and hopefully meet some new ones!!"

In addition to Schenker and Van
Landing, the lineup for the forthcoming tour is expected to include Pete Holmes (BLACK N BLUE) on drums, Wayne Findlay (MSG) on keyboards/guitar and Elliott Rubinson (DEAN GUITARS) on
bass.

Schenker's latest album, "Temple Of Rock", was released in Europe on September 23,
2011 and in North America on October 11, 2011 on CD and LP through Schenker's own Inakustik label via MVD Entertainment Group. Due to a four year
battle with a recurring Acid Reflux and the nasty Stomach Bacteria, HP, Robin
McAuley has now been diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia and requires surgery and
can no longer participate in the Upcoming MSG fall North American tour by
Doctors order.

Robin has released this statement in regards to this
decision.....

"In light of the upcoming MSG shows beginning early October
2012, I regretfully am forced to cancel my appearance with Michael Schenker.
I expect to be back in the saddle soon as this is taken care of but
it's important for all the fans to know how very disappointed I am. I
make a point of staying healthy and always ready to meet the challenges
of each day as it comes. This is one of those days I rarely have
to confront, but here it is nonetheless. I promise to be back at ya!
real soon.

Be well, all of you, and thank you for your
support.

God Bless, Robin" The MICHAEL SCHENKER "Temple of Rock"
North American Tour will continue with DAVID VAN LANDING replacing Robin on
vocals who has been the cornerstone of MSG tours in the 90's as the lead vocalist and
most recently was featured on
the MICHAEL SCHENKER sold out
tour of South America in 2011. Michael Schenker is happy to have him for the
second leg of the North America tour now.

“The Temple of Rock is within me, says Michael, where I create since I was introduced to the amazing invention of the distorted Guitar which is for me the most enjoyable and the best possible way
to express myself. The Rock Guitar Sound that I fell in love with, mostly expressed as Lead breaks, is what I have nurtured and treasured all of my life. Combined with the infinite spring from within and
the amazing musicians around me I keep expressing an on going development of my Art (Being)”.

“With Temple of Rock, Michael adds, I am entering a new stage of my life, a new level of existence enjoying life more than ever, reaping the joy of all sorts of developments from the past. These
days I just want to go out there having fun playing.

Also, it seems to me that collectively, with true expressive makers of Rock Music, we have been building the external Temple Of Rock for many years and have now come to the point of putting on the roofing
and celebrating the almost completion of the Temple. All generations of this period are meeting all over the world on one stage it seems celebrating an Era of "Hand Made Rock" which will never
be the same again due to invention of new technology but of course New Temples and New Wonders will arise to enjoy expressions in new ways”.

Michael Schenker and his new line up already completed a very successful UK Tour in July 2011 and a great Show at London’s High Voltage Festival being joined by surprise guests such as Rudolf Schenker,
Doogie White and Jeff Scott Soto.
In October Michael Schenker will be touring the States with Leslie West and Uli Jon Roth under the name - 3 Guitar Heroes.

"Michael Schenker will be on Tour this Summer. More dates will be anounced soon. In July a new Show will be presented with Pete Way on bass, Elliott "Dean" Rubinson on bass, Herman Rarebell
on drums, Wayne Findlay on keyboards/guitar and Michael Voss on vocals

Brazil

2010.08.14

To everyone in Brazil: we are also disappointed that we will not be coming to Brazil this summer. We are in the process of some really big things and look forward to coming to Brazil when the timing is
right. For the sake of completeness: There has not been any contract or contract breach on concerts in Brazil; we simply had to pass an offer this time. The promoters allready removed their first ambiguous
note, as it was based on a misunderstanding. We had really great shows and fantastic audiences in Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo in 2009. So MSG can´t wait to be back to Brazil! Keep Rockin.

Thiago Sarkis of Roadie Crew magazine (www.roadiecrew.net) organised a poll in which 330 guitarists were asked to mention their favorite guitarists of all time. Among the participants in the poll were current and former members of such bands as GUNS N' ROSES, KISS, MACHINE HEAD, ALICE COOPER, NIGHTWISH, MEGADETH, SCORPIONS, TESTAMENT, ARCH ENEMY, KING DIAMOND, SEPULTURA, DIO, TWISTED SISTER, KAMELOT, BLUE CHEER, YES, GENESIS, DOWN, KING CRIMSON, TEN YEARS AFTER, MICK JAGGER, OZZY OSBOURNE etc.

The results of the poll were published in the new issue of Roadie Crew (#112) and showed Michael Schenker as the 10th-favorite guitarist of all times to the guitarists of Classic Rock & Heavy Metal.

The 330 participants of the poll chose 5 guitarists to make their Top 5 and had to put them in order. Afterwards, they were free to mention from 1 to 5 other musicians which would be among their favourites as well. First place got 10 points. Second place, 8 points. Third place, 6 points. Fourth place, 4 points. Fifth place, 2 points. From the sixth to the tenth place, 1 point.

Chris Caffery (Savatage) picked Michael Schenker as his No. 1 and was invited by Roadie Crew to come up with a statement about his favorite guitarists of all times. Caffery wrote: "Michael is in my opinion the greatest lead guitar player ever. Each solo he played brought the song to a new level. He talked to us with his guitar."
